Leo XIV has named another LGBT-inclusive bishop to lead a diocese of 670,000 Catholics. Bishop Michael Saporito, who served under Cardinal Joseph Tobin, led a parish that welcomed gay Catholics and their families. He also participated in private dialogues with LGBT Catholics, saying he “felt enriched by the exchange of personal stories.”
Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp, Belgium, is pressing ahead with his plan to ordain married men in 2028. Several married candidates are already being prepared for possible ordination. “I trust that an appropriate regulation can be found by the end of the synodal process in autumn 2028,” Bishop Bonny told Herder Korrespondenz, according to katholisch.de (September 28). Bonny warned that it would be “a fatal blow to the credibility and implementation of the entire synodal process if no regulation were reached by then.” Bishop Bonny also expressed confidence in Pope Leo XIV and his approach to the needs of local Churches. “Like a good father, he knows what his children need, and that is not the same everywhere or for everyone,” Bonny added. He also mentioned that he went to Rome in June with the backing of the Belgian Bishops’ Conference. “Before my visit to the two dicasteries in Rome, the president of the Belgian Bishops’ Conference gave me a letter in which the Bishops’ Conference supports …Magis
It aint gonna work. A priest is already totally occupied with his priestly duties as well as his prayer life. He does not have time to take care of a family. Being the son of a physician, my father was frequently called out at mealtime to deal with emergencies. A priest must sacrifice and devote all his energies in serving God.
"Cling therefore to Christ if you wish to be secure: for you will not be able to go astray, because he himself is the way. Hence those who cling to him do not walk in a pathless place, but by the right way." — St. Thomas Aquinas
Gaetano Masciullo Sep 22, 2026 Part I. Priest excommunicated after defending Tradition speaks out Fr. Leonardo Maria Pompei tells LifeSiteNews how upholding traditional Catholic teaching through online preaching led to his suspension, a schism charge, and now excommunication. An Italian bishop has declared that Father Leonardo Maria Pompei, a priest in his diocese well known for his online preaching, has incurred automatic excommunication for schism. The decision, announced by Bishop Mariano Crociata of Latina-Terracina-Sezze-Priverno on September 11, came at the conclusion of a canonical investigation requested by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith after Pompei announced he would resign as a parish priest and continue his ministry within the world of Catholic Tradition. According to statements released by the diocese and as reported by the Italian press, the charge of schism stems from public declarations in which Pompei allegedly stated that he “no longer recognizes himself …Magis
Vatican: late IVE founder Carlos Miguel Buela responsible for homosexual offences. The Vatican has publicly addressed the long-running case of Argentine priest Carlos Miguel Buela, founder of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE). The case began formally in May 2020, when Cardinal Santos Abril y Castelló established a Special Penal Tribunal to examine allegations against Buela. After hearing the accused, his lawyer and numerous witnesses, the tribunal issued its judgment on 20 July 2021. It found that Buela had committed offences against the sixth commandment in relation to five male members of the Institute. Buela appealed. A Special Penal Tribunal of Appeal was subsequently constituted and conducted additional investigations, including further testimony from Buela and witnesses proposed by his defence. On 30 March 2023, the appellate judges deliberated and voted to confirm the first tribunal’s finding concerning the five cases. Before the appellate judgment could be formally drafted …Magis
V. Sancte Míchaël Archángele, defénde nos in prælio; contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto præsídium.

Leo XIV Appoints Bishop Who Celebrates Jewish Passover with Seminarians. Pope Leo XIV today appointed Bishop Ramón Salazar Estrada, 63, until now auxiliary bishop of Guadalajara, as the new Bishop of Mazatlán, Mexico. Salazar was ordained a priest in 1993 for the Archdiocese of Guadalajara. He holds a doctorate in moral theology from the Alphonsian Academy in Rome. Allegations of Homosexual activity at the seminary In the Archdiocese of Guadalajara there is an anonymous church watchblog, GdlSantaIPecadora.blogspot.com. According to this source the seminary was suffering in 2012 from “delicate cases of homosexuality”, alongside alcoholism. In May 2014 the blog alleged an internal network of seminarians arranging homosexual encounters by phone, connections with priests outside the seminary, and protection or tolerance by some formators. It also claimed that at least seven seminarians had been dismissed after accusations concerning homosexuality. Salazar was already closely involved in …Magis
The heresy of VII ecumenism has led their adherents to the Great Apostasy—that is, to the Great Rebellion against the Most Holy Trinity. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) “It is absurd for a heretic to say that he believes in Jesus Christ. To believe in a person is to give our full consent to his word and to all he teaches. True faith, therefore, is absolute belief in Jesus Christ and in all He taught. Hence, he who does not adhere to everything Jesus Christ has prescribed for our salvation does not have any more of the Doctrine of Jesus Christ than the pagans, Jews and Mohammedans.”

Leo XIV is “following in Francis’s footsteps,” Cardinal Ángel Rossi, 68, of Córdoba, told La Nación on September 27. Cardinal Rossi described Leo XIV’s visit to Argentina as an homage to Francis, comparing his visit to the Cottolengo with Francis’s trip to Lampedusa, with both emphasizing the poor and marginalized. He also said that “Leo XIV will find a battered Argentina, socially downcast, and one in which triumphalist language is heard.”
Cardenal Ángel Rossi: «León XIV se encontrará con una Argentina en ruinas, socialmente abatida y en la que se escucha un lenguaje triunfalista»

Benedícta et venerábilis es, Virgo María: quæ sine tactu pudóris invénta es Mater Salvatóris. ℣. Virgo, Dei Génetrix, quem totus non capit orbis, in tua se clausit víscera factus homo. Allelúia, allelúia. ℣. Post partum, Virgo, invioláta permansísti: Dei Génetrix, intercéde pro nobis. Allelúia.
Pope of Applause. Leo XIV received three minutes of thunderous applause after his speech in Metz on September 28, accompanied by emotional orchestral music. He stood, visibly pleased, and nodded. Applause has an old political language: the acclamation of rulers. Leo XIV readily accepts the ritual, in Metz as in the Vatican, several times a day. Pius XII did not invent papal applause, but helped normalize what earlier popes had often regarded with suspicion: the Pope as the object of prolonged public ovation.
